I am sure that there was some confusion about this one somewhere . I have these seeds which were was sent from a friend it Italy some years ago. The name above is what was written on the actual commercial packet I got , that I am certain of and I am fairly certain think it may have been Franchis but not 100%. I shared them but gave the other person the packet and I kept my half in a plastic bag and copied the name. . To the best of my recollection I have never grown them. I think the reason was because I could not find the actual seed name when I thought of doing so and kind of passed them by. I have sown some this year, they are pretty old, the germination was very poor but I got a few.

I have tried once or twice to identify them but still end up confused. All I can say at this point is they are regular leaf.

Does anyone have any info to educate me please
